新加坡共和國

位於東南亞中南半島最南端,1965年被馬來西亞國會投票驅逐後獨立建國。是亞洲最富有的國家之一,人均GDP和人類發展指數都是亞洲第一名。但因為國土面積小,糧食供應高度仰賴進口,這在爆發糧食危機的2022年顯得格外危險,一度被馬來西亞的雞肉禁令大大影響。也因此,近年來新加坡政府不斷嘗試使用技術和創新研發,目標是在2030年將糧食自給率提升到30%。
新加坡的新總理人選也一直是外界關注的焦點。沒意外的話,49歲的財政部長黃循財將成為新加坡第4任總理,預料其執政方向不會離李顯龍太遠。
Year Founded: 1965
Sitting on the southernmost tip of Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, Singapore guards the southernmost exit of the Malacca Strait. It was originally a state of Malaysia in 1956 and became an independent state after being expelled by the Malaysian Parliament in a vote in 1965.
With its geographical advantages, Singapore has become the finance, service, and shipping center of Asia. The state has been ranked No.1 in Asia for many consecutive years be it GDP per capita or Human Development Index.
The People's Action Party has been the only ruling party in Singapore, so it does not excel in the Press Freedom Index and Democracy Index like it does in the economy. There are a large number of international migrant workers holding work visas in Singapore, and only 38% of the residents are permanent citizens.
The state adopts neutrality as a principle of its foreign policy. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in 2021 that Singapore would not choose sides in the China-U.S. confrontation.
